Eileen Lynch Treasurer ....................... Benton Pike Social Chairmen........ Magdeline Cota Frances Howard Faculty Adviser............ Miss Scurrah As a result of the efforts of Miss Sparks, our “ancien” teacher, the French Club of Canton High School was organized in January, 1931. Our chapter is a state honorary society, “Les Babillards,” and is called Theta, a Greek word for the name of a French Club Chapter. Eight initiates were formally sworn into the fraternity during the year. To the delight of the club members and Miss Scurrah, Phillips Reynolds developed poetical ability in French. One of his poems was published in “Le Petit Bavard,” a French paper printed in Rochester. An unusual part of our honorary society was its basketball team, which overcame an unfavorable lead in the last minutes of play and scored a victory, 19-16, over the Hi-Y Club team. Other activities of the club included a financially and socially successful tea dance, contributions to the French room bulletin board, and many attractive meetings. The French Club, though one of the youngest, is fast becoming one of the leading societies of Canton High School. Mark O’Driscoll. OMICRON ALPHA PI President......................... Horace Bartman Vice President ......... Lawrence O’Brien Secretary-Treasurer .... Frank Richardson The Omicron Alpha Pi Fraternity, the oldest or- ganized society in Canton High School, has just completed its twenty-ninth successful year. Initiations were held early in October and five members were admitted to the club, bringing the number of present members to thirty-one. The members of the fraternity have been very active this year in the social and athletic activities of Canton High. The green and white has placed eleven men on the football squad, five on the basket- ball squad, and six on the track team. As well as being represented on every athletic team, the 0. A, P.’s have had a very good scholastic record. The members who are graduating this year join in hoping that the members of the fraternity will carry on the good work of the past. Phillips Reynolds. HI-Y CLUB President................ Robert Womack Vice President............... Mark Banks Secretary ............... Oscar Howard Treasurer ............. William Sheridan Faculty Adviser ......... Mr. Blankman The Hi-Y Club of 1933 started off with a bang, having its first meeting of the year the Tuesday after school started. Only nine members were present, with Mr. Blankman supervising. The plan of activities for the year were discussed at the next meeting and fully decided upon. Previous to this, no initiation had been carried out, but the members figured on creating more interest in the organization and decided to try it. Several new members were proposed and first met at the home of Vice President, Mark Banks. Their initia- tion was given at the home of William Butler. Refreshments were served at both places. After this, several meetings were held in the high school with poor attendance. Later, a meeting was held at the home of Robert Womack, the Presi- dent of the club. The club held a tea dance during the year, and many, besides its members, attended. Affiliation with-the National Hi-Y will undoubtedly take place before the end of the year. We played our first and only basketball game with the French Club, and were defeated 19-16. Robert Womack. X. Y. Z.? FRATERNITY President ................. Glenn Wright Vice President ...»....... Albert Bristol Secretary-Treasurer......Mark O’Driscoll The X. Y. Z. ? Fraternity, founded in 1907, has successfully completed another year in Canton High School, under the able leadership of Glenn Wright, President. The members of the Fraternity have represented the Blue and Yellow in all athletic and social func- tions of the school. Six equally active boys were initiated into the Fraternity in the early part of the year, at the home of Walter Howard, one of the old members. Social activities included ten meetings at the home of various members, one tea dance, and a banquet. The O'. A. P. Fraternity was defeated by the X. Y. Z. ?’s in the annual game of basketball. Through graduation, five members will leave the Fraternity, but we of the graduating group join in hoping that the remaining members will uphold the glory, honor, and prestige of the Fraternity, and strive to maintain the standards for which the Club has always stood.
